Abstract
Summary Complement‐mediated lysis of bone marrow cells from patients with myelomatosis using a rabbit antiserum raised against normal peripheral blood mononuclear cells was found to greatly enrich the abnormal plasma cells. Cellular morphology was good and the cells were able to synthesize and secrete paraprotein. This was found to be a quick and useful method of preparing myeloma plasma cells for further studies of their metabolic properties.This publication has 7 references indexed in Scilit:
